2Tek Alaf Kuruçeşme

"Alaf is a bustling restaurant with a fabulous cocktail bar on the roof terrace – perfect for a romantic dinner for two overlooking Istanbul's eastern coastline. Chef Deniz cooks up dishes with various influences: sometimes it is inspired by Yörük cuisine, sometimes Kurdish, the list goes on. With his wood-fired oven, he enthusiastically melds authentic traditional Turkish recipes with new-age cooking methods. Whether it's al dente squid with an exciting Mediterranean twist using sun-dried tomatoes, or medium-rare goose breast elevated by satsuma and harissa, a diverse journey of discovery awaits your taste buds!" - Michelin Inspector
